Even losing one tooth can be devastating, especially if it’s visible to other people. Age, accidents, and gum disease can all contribute to losing teeth. In fact, nearly 30% of adults have lost all or at least one quarter of their teeth, requiring significant restoration, such as dentures, bridges, or dental implants.

Dental implants are titanium supports that replace the root of the tooth. Crowns, bridges, or dentures can be placed on them to restore your teeth.  They are a superior choice for tooth replacement for several reasons:

• Improved appearance. Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth.
• Improved speech. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that teeth might slip.
• Easier eating. Dental implants allow you to eat your favorite foods with confidence.
• Improved self-esteem. Dental implants can give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself.
• Durability. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.
• Convenience. Dental implants eliminate the inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.

Dr. Davis recommends dental implants in Buckhead whenever possible for tooth replacement. Implants can help prevent the bone deterioration that results from the removal of the tooth’s root and are superior to dentures for your overall dental health.  Dr. Davis collaborates with highly talented surgeons and pre-plans the location of dental implants so that they can be restored with optimum esthetics and function predictably.  If you have existing implants that need repair, Dr. Davis will restore them to that same level of function and esthetics.

If you have dental implants that you think might be damaged, call our Buckhead dental office at 404.255.7500 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Todd Davis.
